10/19: Quest Bible Study
The Importance of a Biblical Worldview in a Postmodern World
Join us for Quest on Wed, Oct 19th at 6:30pm as Pastor Ken Fisher from Wisconsin Lutheran High School leads a discussion of the Bible’s reply to the postmodernist view of truth, We will discuss being “salt” and “light” in a postmodern world. Together we’ll explore the skeptical worldview of postmodern thought and consider the Christian’s hope-filled response.
Quest takes place at D’Agostino’s Pizza’s party room, at Southport & Addison in Wrigleyville. We enjoy some pizza at 6:30 before the presentation begins at 7 PM. Everyone is encouraged to bring a friend or two – this is a casual opportunity for us to enjoy fellowship and grow our faith over some good pizza!
